There are no such enemies
So dire as good people,
They will rob you, mournfully,
And condemn you, weeping,
They'll invite you to their home,
Welcome you profusely,

To mock and abuse you,
Later, mock at you and jeer,
To grab you for sure ...

Everywhere beset you,
Even in the other world
They will not forget you. — Taras Shevchenko
